Product Overview
The Premier Contrast Bib Apron (PR162) is a sophisticated take on a workwear staple, designed specifically for the demanding environments of the hospitality and catering industries. This full bib apron distinguishes itself with a vertical contrast panel running the length of the right-hand side, providing a modern aesthetic that complements contemporary bar and restaurant interiors. Engineered for functionality, it combines a generous cut with practical storage solutions, ensuring your team remains protected while maintaining a polished professional appearance.
Key Features
- Adjustable Neckband: Features a sliding buckle that allows the wearer to customise the fit, ensuring comfort during long shifts and preventing the apron from pulling uncomfortably on the neck.
- Dual Slanted Side Pockets: Two front pockets with slanted openings provide convenient storage for order pads, pens, or payment terminals, keeping essential tools within easy reach.
- Generous Tie Length: The 90cm self-fabric ties ensure the apron can be securely fastened around various waist sizes, providing a reliable fit for all staff members.
- Contrast Side Panel: The integrated contrast panel is not merely decorative; it serves as a framed area for specific branding or simply to align the garment with your corporate colour scheme.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton twill, this apron is designed to withstand the rigours of daily service. This fabric choice is intentional; the polyester provides essential durability and crease resistance, ensuring the garment looks crisp from the start of a shift to the end. The cotton content offers breathability and a softer handle, which is vital for staff working in warm kitchen or front-of-house environments.
As a lightweight fabric, it offers excellent mobility without sacrificing protection. The twill weave is inherently sturdy, meaning it can handle frequent abrasion against counters and tables without thinning or tearing prematurely. This is a well-engineered garment that prioritises both the wearer's comfort and the employer's need for longevity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Premier Contrast Bib Apron is an excellent canvas for customisation. Its flat surfaces and stable twill weave make it suitable for both embroidery and print processes. For a traditional and high-end professional appearance, we recommend embroidery on the main chest area or the contrast panel. This technique is particularly effective for company logos and staff names, offering a textured finish that survives intensive washing.
If your branding involves larger, more intricate graphics or bold text, our print services provide a vibrant alternative. Our in-house production team, based in Telford, has been refining these processes since 1976. We ensure that every application of your logo is executed with precision, maintaining the integrity of your brand identity on every garment.
Use Cases
This apron is highly versatile and fits seamlessly into various professional settings. It is an ideal choice for waitstaff in busy restaurants, baristas in speciality coffee shops, and front-of-house teams in boutique hotels. Because it supports industrial laundering, it is also perfectly suitable for back-of-house kitchen staff who require a reliable barrier against spills while maintaining a uniform look with the service team.

Practical Advice
The 'one size' nature of this apron makes it a practical choice for businesses with high staff turnover or varied team demographics. The width of 72cm and length of 86cm provide ample coverage for most adults. To ensure the longest life for the apron, we recommend ensuring the sliding buckle is securely adjusted before use to prevent unnecessary strain on the neck strap stitching.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your apron requires adherence to proper laundering protocols. For commercial environments, this garment supports industrial laundering at temperatures up to 85°C. This high-temperature wash is critical for ensuring total thermal disinfection, removing bacteria and deep-seated grease that are common in catering settings.
For domestic cleaning, a 60°C wash is recommended. This temperature is effective at breaking down organic stains and oils while being gentler on the fabric and any applied customisation. Following these instructions prevents the build-up of residues that can dull the fabric's colour and helps to maintain the crisp finish of the poly-cotton twill.
